CHELSEA NEWS IN FIVE MINUTES | THE LATEST ON THE FRANK LAMPARD SPECULATION.

Welcome to the Chelsea news in five minutes here on the channel with the latest on Frank Lampard and the speculation regarding possible potential replacements. 

Chelsea have reportedly identified Thomas Tuchel, Massimiliano Allegri, Brendan Rodgers and Ralph Hasenhuttl as contenders to replace Frank Lampard as manager - but the club will give him time to turn things around.

However, the club have already compiled a shortlist of potential replacements if Lampard is unsuccessful in turning his side's fortunes around.

They include former Paris Saint-Germain boss Tuchel and ex-Juventus manager Allegri. Rodgers, who worked as a youth coach at Chelsea during the early stages of his coaching career, has turned Leicester into a Premier League force in recent seasons. Meanwhile, Hasenhuttl guided Southampton to a 1-0 win over champions Liverpool on Monday night to take them to within four points of Jurgen Klopp's side. - Daily Mail.
